UNSPSC 51171822: Palonosetron

This classification denotes a 5-ht3 receptor antagonist and antiemetic agent with the molecular formula C19H24N2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 5D06587D6R, chemically known as 2-(1-azabicyclo(2.2.2)oct-3-yl)-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-1h-benz(de)isoquinolin-1-one but generally known as palonosetron, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 148211. European Medicines Agency schedules Palonosetron in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09593MIG.

UNSPSC 51171822 Palonosetron is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source materials. The recent opportunities tagged or associated with this code cover water treatment chemicals, laboratory supplies, crime scene forensics consumables, diagnostic test kits, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and laboratory information management systems—none of which constitute palonosetron procurement. Palonosetron is a branded antiemetic pharmaceutical, yet the source shows no active state or local solicitations for this specific drug. The mismatch between the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope and the actual goods being solicited (precipitant solutions, water treatment chemicals, forensic reagents, and lab consumables) suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between how this particular code is being applied in practice and its intended use.

The limited relevant activity appears scattered across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies with no pattern establishing palonosetron as an active procurement category at the state or local level. Until source materials document direct procurement of palonosetron by state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, or other state and local entities, pursuit under this code is not supported by available evidence.
